Drill - Hydraulic

Hydraulic drills are powerful and can be operated for long periods of time with the right power source. These drills require a low pressure hydraulic power source and can be operated out of EWP's (elevated work platforms or aerial buckets), machinery (bobcat, tractor, excavator, etc - these items may require a flow control valve) or petrol/diesel/electric pump. Hydraulic drills can be used with long hose sets keeping the drill away from the pump or power source. Commonly used by water utilities as drills are not effected by splashing water, some hydraulic drills can be operated underwater.

Alternate terminology: Low Pressure Hydraulic Drills.
